## How to use JEE Advanced Physics PYQs
1. Start with the chapters at the top of the ranking. They carry the most questions.
2. For each chapter, solve its PYQs year by year from the official PDFs, then check the answers.
3. Log misses by concept. When a concept repeats in your log, go back to that chapter's concept table.
4. Finish with full JEE Advanced papers from the year pages to practise timing.
